menu / layout positioning issue in IE

guestpublic / guestpublic

Hello everyone,

Please compare in Firefox and IE.

Is the two column layout working in PC IE. The problem I see in PC IE is the submenu isn't positioned properly as it should sit just above 2nd column.

And two column not working properly in Admin section:
( login as guestpublic / guestpublic first then click on artists link and choose 'koolkrazy' band) http://www.musicplanet.com/musicsoft...name=koolkrazy

Any ideas on repositioning to work in IE?

Anyone want to answer my question?

Try defining your document type. If you don't define your document type at the top of your code ie6 renders the page in 'quirks' mode which for one doesn't undertsand the box model properly. You can create the perfect site but if you don't define the doc type it can throw the whole thing off.

Don't know if this will solve your problem but it can sort all sorts of issues with ie6.

Also after you have done this, vaidate your site http://validator.w3.org this can sometimes be frustrating but it's worth it in the long run. By the way if you do validate bear in mind that something like an unclosed tag can cause the validator to find an error somewhere down the page. So the errors are there but not necessarily where it says.
